Jail time for panic attack

[jennylove12]

On the weekend just past I was jailed for 3 hours for “disturbing the peace “ apparently. I had a severe panic attack and really started screaming in fear of my life, my whole body was shaking and heart was literally running so fast I thought it would just blow up. This happened while I was in supermarket getting groceries for the week. The manager called the cops and they thru me in jail.

I was so embarrassed 😞 and angry cos no one tried to help me just some nut said throw me in the loony bin.

No one understands.

I hate my life.

One disaster after the next.

Everything is collapsing around me and I’m finding it hard to find reason to remain on this earth any longer, not like anyone would no

I’m gone.

I’d probably just rot in my house. 😩.

Fuck it all.

I’m so so sorry you had to go through that ((((((((((Jennylove12))))))))))) Someone should have helped you but I guess no one understood and that is certainly not your fault.

It reminds me of a time I lost control in a doctors office from a low blood sugar attack I guess and the feeling of it got me really scared and had one of my kids with me...well someone kept making comments that I was scaring my child and of course i felt terrible and I tried not to freak out but I couldn’t help it for some reason.

You should not have to suffer so. Has anything helped you in the past to lessen the anxiety?

I hope your day is going alright. 💕

It’s hard to feel vulnerable and have people judge, it’s a terrible feeling. You didn’t do anything wrong and it breaks my heart knowing people are like that to other people in pain. I wish you happiness and peace

One thing i'm trying to accept and let go of is seeking approval/ acceptance from other people. People are ALWAYS going to judge, myself included. I am working on myself everyday so that I can be comfortable in my own skin without having to worry about the opinion of others, I think I went through life TOO long this way and it's held me back from being who I truly want to be and causing some unnecessary stress, anxiety and depression. Let's try and motivate each other and be there for one another!!

They should have called an ambulance not a police car. Jennylove12, you must see your doctor and sort out some effective medication that will bring you respite. If you've already been prescribed something and it's clearly not working then keep going back to your doctor until s/he comes up with something that is effective. Life doesn't have to be the way you feel now, you can enjoy life again, life can be sweet once more. Don't give up whatever you do.

[t_nguyen701]

That was not nice. Sorry that happened to you, fuck what everyone thinks of you. (excuse my language) We have enough to deal with already internally, and to let someone else dictate how you feel is just going to make it worse. You shouldn't seek approval from ANYONE, i hope that you would try and understand that. Feeling those emotions are normal, you can feel them and then let them pass. There's no need to hold onto those emotions. I hope you're well!!

Don't say that hun. You are a child of god. After the storm spring is coming. I know the feeling all too well. I started cbt ask for it. Find someone in person that has anxiety that can relate to you. Also get you a travel buddy. Pray and pray some more. I will be praying for you. God bless!

I have a card in my wallet that states I have had a stroke and I suffer panic attacks, it also states even though I am agoraphobic I am also Claustrophobic! If ever I have dealings with the police I am lucky enough that they understand I end up in hospital have something to calm me down and lawyer get taken home ! If you have been locked up for a panic attack get your GP to write to the police stating you have panic attacks the police will arrange for your stay to be expunged and also make sure other officer's know about your panic attacks so if there is a next time they will just take you home or to the hospital (with luck )
